How to Make Always Delicious Chicken Cheese Enchiladas
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, brown the chicken over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in the enchilada sauce, diced onions, and green chilies. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, 1 cup of the enchilada sauce, Monterey Jack cheese, and cheddar cheese.
- Fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture. Roll up tightly and place seam-down in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
- Sprinkle the top with the remaining Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
- Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sour cream, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
